The only other matchup they have after this one, before EuroBasket starts, is a game against Serbia on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If you want to watch this friendly between Slovenia and Great Britain, you can view it on Courtside 1891. The action will begin at 11 a.m. PT.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This streaming service requires a yearly subscription or the purchase of an individual game. For the basketball sickos, the annual plan is likely the best option since Courtside 1891 will have all the EuroBasket games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If Luka and Slovenia have their way, they will have a lot of games this summer as they aim to prove they can be a force in Europe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>You can follow Edwin on Twitter at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ECreates88\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@ECreates88;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">@ECreates88<\/a>\u00a0or on Bluesky at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/ecreates88.bsky.social\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@ecreates88.bsky.social;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">@ecreates88.bsky.social<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Injuries are never a good thing.
